IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) [P20]

archived

-Purpose. The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites applications for competing continuation of Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) grants to independent biomedical research institutes and/or biomedical research institutions that award doctoral degrees in the health sciences or sciences related to health within IDeA-eligible states. INBRE applications must represent a collaborative effort to sponsor research with undergraduate institutions, community colleges, and tribal colleges and universities (TCUs). The size, structure, and operational principles of the INBRE networks have been established during previous INBRE and the planning phase of INBRE project periods. The competitive renewal application should describe progress and accomplishments made to achieve the goals of the statewide research network. -This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide an opportunity to build on the successes of the current INBRE to augment and strengthen the state's biomedical research capacity. The objectives of INBRE program are to: 1) continue to build on the established multi-disciplinary research network with a scientific focus to strengthen the lead and partner institutions' biomedical research expertise and infrastructure; 2) build and increase the research base and capacity by providing support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students at the participating institutions; 3) provide research opportunities for students from undergraduate institutions, community colleges and TCUs and serve as a "pipeline" for these students to continue in health research careers within IDeA states; 4) enhance science and technology knowledge of the state's workforce. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH exploratory grant mechanism (P20).
